..........just when you think you've seen it all.

Last week was my oldest daughter's birthday. It being her special day, she got to pick where we would eat dinner that night. She decided that we would go to The Olive Garden in Winston-Salem. I had band camp all week; so, we had to go rather late in the day. Band camp ended promptly at 4:00 PM, and I rushed home to take a shower and change clothes. In all the rush, I forgot to get a snack. I asked Lisa to stop along the way for a convenience store snack and drink. We pulled off of Hwy 421 just outside of Yadkinville at a fairly nice store. We wheeled to the front of the store when something rather peculiar caught our eye. There was a woman vomiting in the trash can right in front of the door. Her male friend was rubbing her back and consoling her as she did her thing. We stayed in the car until this was over, as it would have seemed to us rude to walk past her as this was going on. When she was finished, she spun around to reveal that she was very, very pregnant. In fact, I would estimate that delivery may be any minute. Anyway, she wiped her mouth with her forearm and immediately lit-up a Winston! What? Smoking while pregnant? There were several others standing around her during the "incident". One appeared to be her mother. After wiping her mouth and lighting her cigarette, she turns to the mother and kisses her on the mouth! Now I'm really not getting out of the car! We let the crowd clear before going into the store. With any luck, they all made it back to the trailer safely!
